Shia LaBeouf is giving a talk at Oxford University in England on Friday night alongside two of his artist friends — Rönkkö and Turner — and the three have decided to stage a bit of an art project before and after the chat.

For the 24 hours both before and after the talk, LaBeouf and his artist buddies are stuck in an elevator, standing with students and occupying the lift in some sort of performance art about connection and stuff.

Esme Ash and Harriet, two Oxford students, had joined the performers in the elevator, and Ash spoke to BuzzFeed about the experience:

Emma Sulkowicz made headlines when she began carrying her mattress around Columbia University to protest the school's mishandling of her rape case.

And on Tuesday that protest culminated when — despite earlier rulings against it — she was allowed to carry the mattress across the stage as she graduated.

This is the culmination of a protest/senior performance art project entitled Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight) in which Emma must have the mattress with her whenever she is on university property.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
